Sub-headline: The constitution has become a plaything of two increasingly venomous parties

…

In practice, the US system is dissolving in vitriol. The constitution was designed to discourage organised factions. History has turned full circle. That body of laws is now a plaything of two increasingly venomous parties. One deserves more of the blame. But the other is catching up.

Not quite a preposterous charade, but awash in Posh Boys hand·wringing over political vitriol. A riff on the lack of civility, that really meant not paying proper deference to the Political Elites. In sum, both parties are guilty! This Party line is defended by respectable bourgeois pundits like yourself, of a past, that has morphed into a more nihilistic form, in the toxic political present. Yet for all your historical references, you are yet moored in that present, garnished by politically convenient history made to measure.

You ,of course, don’t look at the inconvenient historical fact of the collapse of institutionalized Neo-Liberalism, that both Parties unstintingly praised as the necessary point of arrival at a New Utopia. That mirrored the State Capitalism, that was the end point of the October Revolution and its betrayers Lenin and Stalin.

Among the bad actors of the present political melodrama: Grassley, Feinstein, and the sclerotic Dixiecrat Orrin Hatch. The particulars are here, as reported in the America’s Political Gossip sheet Politico.
